Personally I had it a draw , lmao, the comentators kept favoring Rahim --they gave him rounds that he totally didnt deserve- amatuers, lol, WHat u guys think?>
I had Frietas winning. My girlfriend and I were awestruck listening to Kellerman. ROFL.
HBO was in love with Zahir Ruiz, why I don’t know
It was too close to call, neither guy deserved it
HBO is biased towards their fighters. I had it 115-113 for freitas, I had him winning like 4 of the 1st 5 rounds
For some reason I think Starr had it for Rahim. I think it was the tone of her postings after the fight that gives me the reason to believe she scored it that way.
I wasn’t keeping score or anything, i would have to look at it again to come up with my score. the fight itself was very disappointing, i was expecting a good competitive fight, and before the fight i was favoring Raheem to win a close MD.
Freitas won clearly
I had Frietas winning by 3 rounds. Raheem was holding so much and so sloppy he gave away the first 5 rounds. Very poor performance by Raheem in my opinion. However he (Raheem) did show a good chin, and decent power.
Frietas corner sucks. They never told him to go to the body. He would have landed many more shots going to the body, Raheem was ducking so much he may have even scored a ko by Raheem ducking into a big shot.
Kellerman sounded REALLY biased. He made is sound like Raheem was dominating. Also he said twice that Raheem landed 4 or 5 shots in the 6th when Raheem shoved Popo down. The replays both times showed he only landed one good shot, and the others were dodged. Plus Lennox sucks as a broadcaster too.
I usually like Max but he was so biased for Raheem it was laughable
Bad start for the new BAD announcers
I AM TOTALLY GLAD YOU GUYS SAW THE RAHEEM BIAS TOO!!! :coolclick: to Sanity!!! I’m not crazy afterall!
Still cc to all, but I’m kidding… I knew I wasn’t crazy.
This is how it went…
…
HBO Commentators :splurt: Raheem.
Oh and I like your nickname you made up OumaFan… “Zahir Ruiz!” :lolololol:
Well the fact that they had a 5 minute Oprah background story for Raheem was a tip-off.
it was either show raheem and his daughter or explain how freitas is a puss ass quitter and kill some of the hype
raheem won that fight, 112-116… BULLSHIT
A Freitas fan?
the man is a bum >:mad
Guess its what you look for in a fight. But Raheem beat Freitas. And he beat him clearly.
If shoulder charging your opponent into the ropes OR falling on your ass repeatedly constitutes winning… then yes, Rahim won.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
If boxing was a decathlon, Then Raheem won. That guy ran from round one and was scared to get hit. I’m happy Frietas ended his John Ruiz impersonator reward.
Agreed. But like Ruiz, I don’t think it’s over.
With Maxie Kellerman comparing him to Winky Wright and saying he won with confidence, with HBO loving the word “Raheem,” and HBO investing in that Oprah Background check… I think we’ll see Raheem more than twice on HBO.
Hmmm… maybe HBO is jealous of Showtime’s dominance with Castillo Corrales controlling 135lbs. They wanted “A new hope,” such as Raheem, that was contracted by them, so that they can have an UP on Showtimes’ recent success at 135lbs. Not the first time HBO is jealous of Showtime’s glamour divisions. And if anybody had a chance to beat Corrales or Castillo, it’d be a boxer like Raheem. Not Acelino, who failed against Corrales.
I figured it out! 
Why HBO was in love with Raheem all night.
